This recessed tilting and swiveling wall mount is perfect for customers who want their display to sit as close to the wall as possible when the mount is fully retracted but still want the ability to tilt the monitor forward and backward and extend the mount away from the wall to swivel it left to right. The recessed mounting plate installs firmly between two 32" on center spaced studs by removing the center stud of three 16" on center wall studs to provide rigid support for your display as well as a visually appealing installation and the functionality of tilting and swiveling abilities.

Features:

- Recessed mounting plate installs inside of the wall between two 32" on center spaced studs by removing the center stud of three 16" on center wall studs.

- Maximum supported VESA compliant mounting pattern: 800x500.

- Maximum weight capacity: 200lbs (91kg).

- Maximum extension from wall: 25 inches.

- Swivels 60 degrees left/right (120 degrees total swivel).

- Tilts -5 / +15 degrees.

- Recessed plate mounting depth: 3.94 inches.

This mount is only compatible with standard 16" on center stud spacing. It will _NOT_ work for studs that are spaced closer or farther than 16".

IMPORTANT! Please note that the screen sizes listed are only approximations. The VESA pattern used to mount the display and the weight of the display are the primary indicators of whether a given display and mount are compatible. Please check the VESA pattern listed in your product manual to ensure that this mount will work with your display.

Cons: Requires a good amount of work to install.May require you to make some non-trivial changes to where you want this installed.Wish it came with more bracket to TV mounting options (bolts and standoffs)

In our house we had a built in entertainment area in our family/living room. It was designed 10 years ago when 36"/40" tube TVs where the norm. Installing a flat panel plasma in this location meant closing up a 40" hole. I thought that this mount would be perfect since I would be basically building my own support structure.

Let me say that this thing is a beast! If you have a large and/or heavy TV make sure your setup can support it. Luckily I was making my own support structure and was able to brace it so that I am confident that when fully extended there won't be any

Some key points you should note: Make sure that you support structure is adequate. The mount itself isn't small and add your TV's weight in there could make for a sore experience. Also, the mount comes with three different types of mounting bolts and two sizes of standoffs. I had to go to a hardware store because the standoff/bolt combination I needed wouldn't work. The bolts provided were too long.

That said, this mount for the price that Monoprice offers it for is awesome! My wife loves that we can now bring out the TV and swivel it so that we can see it from the kitchen and dining room.

Not quite recessed

Pros: Sturdy, well built, good price.

Cons: Tilt mechanism is flimsy. 40 inches TVs will fit, but with issues. Wiring management is not enough if you have more than two HDMI wires to route.

The intended idea of this recessed mount is great, but it needs improvement. I installed the mount a while back while renovating the basement, but hadn't installed the TV until just now. You need to be comfortable with drywalling and wall framing if your studs are not exactly 16'', but that's to be expected.

The main problem I am having is with the wiring. I installed a 40 inches TV with a 200x200 VESA, the minimum for this mount. I freaked out a bit when the bracket provided was too large and did not fit the TV. I then realized that for a 200 VESA to fit, you need to mount it directly on the arm (not mentionned in the instructions at all). Panic averted.

However this does cause a problem where the TV sits lower than it would with the brackets, and the wire ports from the TV is now straight at the wall, and not in the recess anymore. This means the TV will sit as close to the wall as the HDMI wires' bend will allow, which is about as far out as a regular mount. That is the biggest disapointment of this unit so far. I'll try and get these 90 degrees HDMI adapters and see where that takes me.

Not as FLAT as insinuated but finally worked out great....after much patience!

Pros: Sturdy. Stable. Arms work smoothly.

Cons: Tilt handle on one side works good but the opposite side is very loose and just has an allen screw in it. Not sure how it's supposed to tighten up with only one side tightening.

Not as flat against the wall out of the box as 'recessed' implies.

OK, maybe I mis-read but when I see the word ‘recessed’ I think that my TV is going to sit right against the wall, which is exactly what I wanted. If that weren’t what I was looking for I wouldn’t spend $100 (plus $50 in freight) and rip up my wall. I would just get the one that’s 30 bucks and bolt it on the wall.

So I open the box and immediately see that the braces that hold the TV (both the horizontal and the vertical) are longer and wider than the recessed box, i.e. this thing isn’t really ‘recessed’, just the arms are recessed. Now I’m looking at another 50 bucks to send it back but more importantly, I’ve promised the wife that the back of this new 60” LED will be flat against the wall. Oh yeah, and I’ve already started cutting into the wall while I waited for it to arrive as well. I’ve got to make this thing work!

I chatted with customer service online (very handy) and asked if once I was sure that I didn’t need the excess length and width of the adapter mount if I could simply shorten them by cutting them off. They said absolutely not. Not sure why that wouldn’t work but didn’t want to risk it if I could find an alternative. I DID! It just so happens that where they want you to mount the TV adapter to the swivel arms basically amounts to a 200mm VESA pattern. I went to StandsandMounts.com and ordered a 200mm x 400mm (what the back of my Samsung has) adapter plate ($35 free shipping). It is simply flat plate steel. No more than 1/8” thick. I had to drill the holes in the mount just slightly larger. No more than 1/16”. That completely renders the mounting adapter useless and makes this baby FLAT against the wall! But you can pull it out as much as you want if needed. Arms seem very sturdy.

Back to the wall, I was installing this over a fireplace so it had to be centered. Unfortunately, my studs were not. I had to remove sheetrock across 4 studs, cut out the 2 in the middle then box in the two studs I needed for either side of the mount. It was A LOT of work if you don’t do that sort of thing regularly. Patience is a virtue.

After much disappointment upon opening the box, a little investigative work, and a lot of patience, you simply cannot get a TV any closer to a wall. Everything worked out.

Pros: extremely heavy dutyawesome pricewell built

Cons: heavyyou have to cut/frame a stud to make it fit (fits within a 3 stud space)expensive to ship

Requires you to cut a stud in order to fit it. The instructions don't really speak to this, but a sawzall makes quick work of it. Very heavy duty, I don't know of a tv that this thing can't hold up, and the price is great, for a product you can't find anywhere else.
